Web Developer Interview Experience

Process

The interview process was probably the most enlightening I had out of all the jobs I applied for. It started months ago when a recruiter contacted me. At the time, I wasn't looking for a position, but that changed a month or two later.

First, I spoke with a recruiter. Shortly after, I had a technical phone screening where they probed my understanding of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. You should understand what makes these technologies powerful and their shortcomings.

After that, I had two more interviews where I did some live coding. In these, I had to replicate the functionality of a given design. I decided to write one using just JavaScript and the other with jQuery to save time.

Following these, I was asked to come in for an onsite interview. It involved a lot more of the same, but in greater depth. Get comfortable with whiteboard problems! Knowing how a browser works might help you.

A week and a half later, I received an offer. Yay!
